Fitting a driveway security post depends on a few factors which we will go into on the civil works survey. First, let's look at the different posts you might find in Rotherham. The four main bollard types are telescopic, removable, automatic, and fixed.
Telescopic Driveway Bollards can be manually lowered into the ground. They are easy to use and offer secure protection for your driveway. Our lift-assisted bollards reduce the lifting weight by 60%.
High water can make it hard to raise the telescopic post out of the ground so a removable bollard is possible. Pipes or wiring under the drive might limit how deep you can excavate. Removable bollards require a shallower foundation so they can be removed and stored safely.

Fixed bollards are suitable if you’re aiming to permanently stop access to certain parts of your property or narrow the vehicular access path.
Automatic Driveway Bollards use a key fob to raise and lower the bollard using a hydraulic pump system and require a more extensive installation process.
Rhino Security Bollards are a strong deterrent as they are visible and imposing to any car thief, slowing any attack. In addition, they are quick and cost-effective to install, with some insurance companies requiring at least two types of anti-theft measures to cover caravans and motorhomes.

Fitting a new driveway security bollard requires digging through your driveway material. You will need to hire a skip to remove the rubble and spoil to leave your driveway nice and clean. It is essential when looking at automatic driveway bollards, as they require more extensive civil work.
